After LUMMA DESIGN recently unleashed the X5 as the X530 with
brute-force 530 bhp, the German tuner has now also turned its
attention to the diesel versions. They have also been treated to the
broader X530 aerodynamic kit in addition to a substantial increase
in power delivery and torque. This also cuts a good figure in white,
which is complemented by white wheels (see photographic material).
In addition, LUMMA has made changes to the chassis, sound and
interior.

Performance enhancement for 3.0d and 3.0sd

LUMMA has implemented the diesel motor tuning with its D-Power-Box.
This additional electronic circuit now coaxes a generous 275 bhp out
of the 3.0d, instead of the standard 235. The torque increases from
520 to a convincing 600 Nm. The 3.0sd attains performance data that
makes some sports cars turn pale in comparison. This is because, a
phenomenal 330 bhp, instead of 286, has been fitted and instead of
580, there are 660 Nm on the power train.

Of course, LUMMA also continues to offer a performance enhancement
for the 4.8 litre pertrol-V8 by a moderate 28 bhp or by considerably
more horsepower to 530 bhp, in this case with compressor.

An even sportier rear appearance for the 3.0d and 3.0sd is
guaranteed by LUMMAs exhaust pipe covers, two on each side (120x95
mm). LUMMA continues to furnish the petrol versions with the
complete sport exhaust system of stainless steel.

CLR X530 look for the diesel models

What already looked good on the 4.8i is naturally just as perfect on
the diesel X5. The LUMMA body kit CLR X530 is composed of a front
spoiler with fog lamps in extravagantly-formed air inlets plus
racing grid, a rear apron with a diffuser look, broader wings at the
front and back that radiate power, new side sill mouldings as well
as the lettering CLR X 530. All components are largely made of
PUR-RIM in original equipment manufacturer quality.

The body kit can be expanded by further components. LUMMA offers a
roof spoiler extension which can simply be affixed to the upper rim
of the boot lid. A very special eye-catcher is the high-quality,
handmade LUMMA sport-look light-weight hood (10.5 kg) made of
carbon/Kevlar composite material, with its characteristic opening
for discharging warm air from the engine bay. A set of LUMMA sport
design exterior mirror caps, which have replaced the original parts,
complement the LUMMA body kit perfectly through their
aerodynamically-optimised design. The mirror caps are also available
in the motor sport material par excellence, carbon. LUMMA restores a
more serious look to the headlights of the CLR X530 with the help
of a set of covers. Similarly, LUMMA also equips the taillights with
a set of covers (4-part and likewise adhesive). The dark-tinted
LUMMA taillights form a welcome contrast to a bright (or white, see
image material) paint finish (export only!).

A good idea, which makes sense in multi-storey car parks or other
places that are badly-lit or not lit at all, is the LUMMA entry
illumination. On each side of the car floor, five LEDs go on when
the doors are opened or unlocked and light the way for the
passengers getting into the car.

Wheels in 22 inch and lower suspension setting

With its complete wheel sets, LUMMA lets its customers choose from
three 22-inch possibilities. For one, theres the wheel set with the
new 10x22 inch sports rim LUMMA Racing 1 in multi-part look with
silver or matt black wheel spider and polished stainless steel rim
flange, as well as the lettering LUMMA Racing on the centre cap.
The second possibility is the wheel set Racing 3 with a one-piece
rim in multi-part look and polished rim flange.

The wheel set Racing 2 can be especially recommended for white
vehicles (see photographs) with its one-piece sports rim in the ice
crystal-like Y-Design LUMMA Edition, which is also available in
white to match the vehicle, or, at an extra charge, in any other
desired colour.

LUMMA fits all three versions with high performance tyres of the
dimension 295/30-22. For example, with the PROXES S/T (300 km/h
approval!) of its technology partner Toyo. LUMMA also supplies the
wheels with rims in 9.5x20 and a tyre dimension of 275/40-20.

LUMMA achieves a somewhat lower centre of gravity and more agile
handling by mounting LUMMA/H&R lowering springs. A good compromise
between comfort and maintaining vehicle height, which still suffices
for uneven terrain.

Sporty elegant ambience in the interior through wood, carbon or
piano varnish

The LUMMA program offers a very large range of additional
accessories for the CLR X530 interior. Ergonomically formed and with
a root wood or leather trim the LUMMA sports steering wheel
communicates a stronger bond with the vehicle. The LUMMA gear stick
head is likewise a feast for the eyes in a root-wood version. The
elegant cockpit is also equipped with coloured instrument faces (see
photographic material: matching the vehicle colour white;
speedometer up to 330 km/h) as well as aluminium door sills. Racing
car atmosphere is transmitted by LUMMA aluminium pedals and an
aluminium foot rest. A foot mat in high quality velour with an
embroidered emblem and real leather edging (colour as desired) makes
the cabin homier. LUMMA also offers a matching boot mat of the same
material.

Naturally, there are TV Part Certificates of Conformity for all
parts used.
